#7, Blade Runner (Top 10 Post-Apocalyptic Films)
      

Released in 1982 and often reincarnated in the years since, Ridley Scott's film Blade Runner speaks to a future that only a futurist of a certain bent could love: a world so used up that anyone who can afford to leaves it to inhabit space colonies off the shoulder of Orion, while those who cannot afford to---and the ill, the elderly, and, by appearances, most non-native speakers of English---are stuck in a ruined, rainy, overcrowded, and oddly mechanized place.

Honorable mention today goes to John Carpenter's They Live. (CLICK BELOW for a clip of the latter.)
